Wellness Coaching

BBM Wellness are turning fitness coaching on its head. Previously, only celebrities and elite athletes enjoyed the benefits of performance coaching. Our clients have unlimited access to BBM Coaching, lead by Miranda Banks and is the perfect supplement to any wellness or lifestyle changes.

Fitness and sports performance coaching is a process of facilitating the speed in which you achieve and maintain your physical fitness and sports goals. Basically, coaching makes you more efficient at being fitter, faster, stronger and keeping it that way. Even the best athletes in the world employ the services of a coach for their performances - to keep them on track, focused and achieving faster... and to help them up after encountering challenge. You don't need to be a top athlete (or an athlete at all!) to benefit the same way.

Conducted online via email (with additional option of telephone support), the coaching program is designed to be used in conjunction with a gym membership or other sports-related activities. Coaching will include topics such as performance nutrition, nutrition for everyday, understanding motivation and goal-setting, understanding and using the link between personality and training styles, managing training loads, getting back on track after injury or other disruption and resilient recovery practices. For those of you who wish to train for a specific event, topics may also include preparation for competition and the competitive mindset. (Please note that this performance coaching program does not include individual strength and conditioning training programs as these require you to be physically assessed face-to-face. Rather, this will enhance your adherence to your fitness behaviours and individual training programs).

As with any form of coaching, first you'll undergo assessment through completing an online questionnaire aimed at clarifying your current position and your intended targets. You and your coach will then crystalise those goals and develop a plan to achieve them, encompassing discussion of many topics listed above. You'll put together tailored strategies to aid your training including anticipation of any potential "pits of doom". How often does a person start with all the good intentions to follow a health kick, only to have those intentions blown away by the first hurdle? Coaching will help you anticipate those hurdles and overcome them successfully.

Whether you're a serious athlete or simply someone keen to finally fix up their fitness, your coaching service means unlimited emails; response to emails from your personal, qualified coach within 24 hours (weekdays); information sheets; recommended reading material; CD for added exercises and material and, more important, your own "support team" to provide expertise, support, monitoring and encouragement.

The fitness and sports performance coaching program is conducted by performance psychologist to sports stars around the world, Miranda Banks. From Australian Rugby to the Australian Institute of Sport; England Polo to Australian cycling; professional surfers to corporate golfers; sailing to triathlon, the varied clients serve to cross-pollinate. Author, lecturer and continuing practitioner, she applies her experience and knowledge of working with these top (and corporate!) athletes to working with anybody who wishes to enhance their fitness or, quite simply, compete and win.
